STAIN RESISTANT JERSEY FOR WESTS TIGERS
Wests Tigers will wear a revolutionised new jersey featuring a ‘stain resistance’ fabric in 2008.
Four new jerseys were unveiled today at the Sydney Cricket Ground as part of the Wests Tigers plans for the centenary year of rugby league.
X-Blades Managing Director Bill Spyros said the jersey is protected from absorbing substances such as blood.
“The jersey has a time period whereby a trainer can wipe the blood from the jersey before it is absorbed and stains,’’ Mr Spyros said.
“This will alleviate the problem of bloodied jerseys having to be changed during a match.’’
Mr Spyros added the fabric was one of the lightest to be knitted for use in a professional contact sport. The fabric was developed in Australia with a leading performance fabric manufacturer.
“Microtex Moisture Management Fabric is constructed with a unique multi-filament fibre that makes for a finer feel with superior strength,’’ Mr Spyros said.
“This superior fibre offers exceptional softness and stretch.’’
Features of the Microtex fabric include:
• Anti-microbial finish to maintain garment freshness
• Moisture management treatment
• High UV protection (50 +)
• Breathable mesh construction
• Excellent print base
• Superior softness
• Easy care properties
• Keeps wearer dry, cool and comfortable
